Stiff? In a word, illegal!

The gliding community is illegal? Hmmm... where did THAT
come from. Demos of aircraft by salesmen, seem to be OK under
61.113 (f).

If you have references making any of this illegal, let me know and I'll
pass it on to Van's and our local Cirrus and Cezzna dealer, since they
demo airplanes all the time...

As a side note, 61.113(g) seems to say a PPL is excepted from
restrictions on compensation for glider towing. Hmmm...hadn't seen
that before. Interesting...
